Deric Poston features as a guest on The Joe Rogan Experience, where his podcast conversations frequently touch upon popular culture, bizarre internet trends, and various literary works. Poston references Malcolm Gladwells Outliers during a discussion, noting that although he owns the book, he has not yet read it. His podcast appearances also involve humorous and critical commentary on mainstream fiction. For instance, he discusses Stephenie Meyers Twilight, pointing out the strange premise of a century-old vampire pretending to be a high school student to pursue a teenager. This leads him to mention E. L. James Fifty Shades of Grey, noting its origins as Twilight fan fiction and how it shifted relationship dynamics. Additionally, Poston introduces Virginia Wade's erotic book series Come for Bigfoot, prompting a broader conversation with the host about the unexpected and widespread popularity of monster erotica novels. Through these varied literary mentions, Poston explores the absurdities found in best-selling fiction, contemporary publishing phenomena, and the peculiar corners of internet culture.
